"Heaven and its Wonders and Hell" by Emanuel Swedenborg is a theological work written in the 18th century. This text explores the nature of heaven and hell as understood through spiritual revelations, aiming to illuminate readers about the spiritual world and life after death based on Swedenborg's own experiences with angels and spirits. The primary focus is on the divine order of heaven and the consequences of living a life of love and faith. The opening of the book introduces readers to the context of divine revelation as the Lord speaks about the end times and the internal meanings of scriptural passages. Swedenborg argues against a literal interpretation of biblical events, asserting that the words signify deeper spiritual truths related to love, faith, and the nature of heaven and hell. He emphasizes that heaven consists of societies formed by angels, reflecting a perfect human form, and stresses the importance of understanding the internal sense of the Word to grasp the essence of heavenly existence and the conditions for entering heaven or hell.
